There is one huge flaw I believe that BJ's Wholesale Club is making, taking care of its dedicated members with a discount renewal membership.
If you are unaware or have only been a member for less than a year, you probably didn't know that BJ's will date you back to your membership.
That means if your membership expires in January, and you let it lapse for a month or two, you go back in April. They will date you back to January, when your membership expired.
It's a rule I think is unfair for sure.
Not Waiting 3 Months
If you plan to let your membership expire to get a better deal, you have to wait three whole months before heading back to the club to get a membership.
You can always use my referral link here to score a $25 membership for the year. This has worked for many renewals as long as you follow the steps. Also, many BJs employees in our Facebook page have shared you can go to the local club and ask for the $25 membership, and they will honor it. I haven't personally done this, but it's worth a shot.

You Don't Want to Renew at Checkout
You know when it's getting close to your membership expiring because the self-checkout register reminds you well in advance. Usually two months. It is convenient to go ahead and renew right there, BUT will you get a discount?
There won't be any BJs membership renewal discount at the register. So instead, go over to the customer service desk and ask for a deal.

Checking Your Mailbox
Many BJs members in our Facebook group have shared images of their membership renewal deals in their mailboxes.
I hope you can renew your BJs membership for less than the regular price of $55 a year! If you are curious about upgrading to one of the Perks memberships, I have an entire post with how much you need to spend weekly here.

this isn’t bjs website this is a couponing/saving page. go to http://www.bjs.com
I received an offer for $20 for a 1 year renewal. Do I have to go in person and do I need a new picture? Offer ends 11/24/19 and it says scan this code to shop BJs.com
I would bring it to your local club. I doubt they will make you get a new picture.
Thanks so much for making us aware of the ins and outs if the membership. That actually happened to us with Costco, it expired while in Florida and we weren’t near a Costco. When we returned we renewed and she back dated it . I said wait a minute it should Expire this date, oh no we started from before I asked if she would change it. You have to watch everything. ?
Hi is there a grace period for expired cards???
My card expired 2 days ago , can I still use it or will I be denied at the register?
Nope they will require you to get a membership. You can ask for the $25 renewal according to managers in our Facebook group. Or you can sign up for a $25 membership here. https://www.bjs.com/membership/innerCircleEnroll?storeId=&marketCode=SHM519
Thanks! I expire soon so I’ll have to give some of these a try. I don’t do full price…. ?
Same here! My membership expires at the end of April. Have to re-register with my Wife’s e-mail address or my other e-mail address, but it works to use the $25 membership,
Thanks Kevin!
If I go online and sign up with my husband’s name will they send me new cards in the mail or do I get a printed one that I then take to customer service. Just need to know if my husband would need to come along to first trip
You will need to visit your local club to pick up your membership cards when you sign up online.
